DrBytes Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Lol I'm not a pauper but they're taking the piss with that 4500 pricetag. I don't have a problem forking it over but I do not feel that I would get value for money and that is important to me, it keeps me in check. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techyiam Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 (edited) $4000 If you preorder, you can get the V13. Or, you can get the Commander. If you ride at higher speeds, that 110 lbs is going to be a godsend should you encounter a wind blast. If you are not looking for a cruiser, why would you be looking at the Abrams, EX20S, Monster Pro, or V13? In each slider on each side, there is an air spring, and a separate damper. There are no suspension links. You can even take out the suspension if you so desire, or put it back when you want to. This is a first.

Popular Post Mango Posted August 11, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted August 11, 2022 What a gorgeous looking wheel. 22” means I don’t need to get rid of my Sherman or Master. Who would want to buy the Abrams or Monster Pro when this wheel has everything you need for a suspension, long range cruising wheel? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mars Bless Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 I'm in. At $4k, it's right there with the other long range wheels and has suspension, if you want it. There's a pretty good buffer at 55mph to prevent one from having a high speed cut out. There's no reason to even buy a Abrams with this wheel being out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post 2 Drinks Behind Posted August 11, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 11, 2022 Their focus on making this safer with redundancy and beefier components appeals to me. As does the size, power and suspension. I'm in. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techyiam Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 (edited) Which other PEV can you get 4500W continuous, 10 000W peak for $4000? And as an euc, it is less than 8" wide, with unprecedented safety features. That slider system with separate internal struts is innovative.

UtahRider Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Looks great but I have to see it in action before committing. If it has a real, great working suspension that won’t need crazy mods then I might get in on the preorder. Sure hope this goes better than their V12 launch.

meepmeepmayer Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Does anybody know an official website/official pictures/official anything (other than the video)? This video had surprisingly little new information other than confirming the looks and suspension, and giving the price and weight. When can you buy it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Inmotion has made some inroads towards mitigating costs, and reduce downtime. The suspension can actually be converted to non suspension, and all the mosfets are on a separate dedicated board. Should there be issues with the mosfets, I think that it may be a lot less costly to replace, then what had to be done with the V12. Suspension can be converted so the owner can still ride while waiting for parts. Edited August 11, 2022 by techyiam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mars Bless Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 You know that's one thing I was thinking of. When can you buy it and when will they be shipping. Hopefully some info is coming soon on that front Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Tawpie Posted August 11, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 11, 2022 The bar for long wait has been set... well, it's still being set because I still don't have an S22 tracking number from eWheels and it has been (basically) one full calendar year. Surely IM can do better than that. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I were told they would sell it as non-suspension wheel with upgrade kit. But I guess feedback from different places changed this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post meepmeepmayer Posted August 11, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 11, 2022 (edited) Short comment about the charging: it has two charge ports, and each port can do 7A max. So that's where their 14A/1764W=14A*126V charging number seems to come from. In principle, any wheel with two GX20 charge ports can do the same. Also, here's the official source for the top speed: a Youtube live chat comment 90kph = 56mph Same for weight: Edited August 11, 2022 by meepmeepmayer weight added 4 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, here's the official source for the top speed: a Youtube live chat comment 90kph = 56mph With a 90 km/h top speed, and a 140 km/h free-spin speed, that's a 50 km/h safety margin. I wonder if 110 lbs is enough to help fight the crosswinds or turbulence at the higher speeds? Maybe riders have to start thinking about aerodynamic aids, in addition to motorcycle grade or higher safety gear.

Popular Post Unbihexium Posted August 11, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 11, 2022 The price is pretty much what I expected so I expect I will buy this wheel. Kinda scared to go for that guinea pig pricing, but $600 is $600 and will probably cover my copay for any medical expenses (hopefully). 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick McCutcheon Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 A lot of you will think I'm crazy, but I can already travel at 90km/h on my (newly P42A) Master. I've even hit 94km/h downhill. But, there is a real safety difference between the Master and V13 at these speeds. I upped by power alarm from 80% PWM/load to 85% PWM/load and I always hit it at these speeds, whereas the V13 could do it easily. I feel like it would be a waste of all the engineering IM put into this wheel only to cap it to well below what it's capable of. The high price of this wheel is tough for me to justify at this speed, but if they allow 100km/h, I'm getting it right away. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
